The Alaska Department of Corrections advertises a $10,000 hiring bonus during the 2022 Fourth of July Parade in Juneau. A listing of state employees' gross pay shows more than half of the top 50 state employees are in public safety.
Among the top 10 earners in the report are four investment officials — three from the Alaska Permanent Fund and one from the Teachers Retirement System — three state troopers, a corrections officer in Bethel, and the chief psychiatrist of the Alaska Psychiatric Institute. Members of the Alaska State Defense Force — the state’s organized militia — the National Guard, AmeriCorps volunteers, board members, stipend recipients and student workers are excluded.
The same listing showed AHFC Corp. CEO Bryan Butcher with compensation of $305,150. That would have been 12th in the gross pay report. Railroad president and CEO Bill O’Leary’s $297,825 compensation would have been 15th. When asked why Dr. Stallman was the state’s top gross earner, Betsy Holley, a spokesperson for the Alaska Department of Corrections, said Stallman and the Bethel officer who finished in the top 10 “are paid in accordance with the assigned salary schedules for their job classes, duty stations, applicable collective bargaining agreements and personnel rules.”
An official with the Alaska Department of Public Safety said some of the figures for its top-grossing employees “include moving costs for relocation to remote areas of Alaska and may also include cash outs of personal leave to an employee’s deferred compensation retirement account.”
